#79: 2 / Tinian Raid: Japanese Attack B29 BaseActivation: Any HQ
Logistics Value: 1
Conditions: Any air or naval units may be activated, but only one brigade size ground unit may be activated.
Bonus: If the Allied player has a B29 LRB unit within 8 hexes of Tokyo (3706) or in the China Air units box, the Japanese player rolls a die. On a die roll of:
0-4: Lose one B29 Air step*
5-9: No Effect
*Japanese choice
Remove from play if used as an event.

For losses, you have to match air units not in the battle hex itself one for one to inflict any damage. Additionally, all units on a side have to be reduced before any reduced unit can be eliminated. This battle, you had 2 air units and I had 3 air units plus one full strength surface unit in the battle hex.

You can flip the surfance unit in the battle hex and 2 of the 3 air units. The third can't be hit and since it is full strength, you can't eliminate any of the reduced surface units in the battle hex itself.

I will transfer the hit on the CV to the CVL (special rule for Japan)

Not sure I totally understand the rules on applying hits. For what is a difficult set of rules that section is not very well explained at all.

Am I only allowed to hit two of the air capable units out of the three available because I only have two myself that are not in the battle hex?

You needed a chain of air units to open up a supply line. If you would have left the CVL at Trincomalee, I would have tried to bring in another BB. Usually you want to garrison HQ units unless they aren't critical.

One other note, on surprise your minimum number of hits was 50% (+4 drm) so 13 hits. That is why I didn't roll. To get 26 hits would have required a roll.
